Sen. Ron Johnson has exposed private messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government phone, revealing that Fauci quietly raised alarm about the potential link between mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and miscarriage—contradicting his public reassurances to the American people.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., has brought to light a disturbing set of text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s former HHS iPhone, indicating that the nation’s top health official privately harbored concerns that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines might be associated with miscarriages in early pregnancy. Johnson released these damning excerpts as part of a Senate investigation into Fauci’s communications during his tenure as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, raising serious questions about what the public was told versus what officials knew behind closed doors.
The messages, dated January 2021, show Fauci in conversation with then-CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky and Dr. Vivek Murthy, openly discussing the possibility that cytokine responses and fever after a second vaccine dose could theoretically increase miscarriage risk in the first trimester. These private admissions stand in stark contrast to the blanket assurances given to the public about vaccine safety for pregnant women.
"I asked around a bit more and another issue came up that you need to be aware of," Fauci wrote. "Since many people have significant cytokine storm and fever after the 2nd dose, this theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester."
Johnson highlighted the hypocrisy between Fauci’s private doubts and the public health guidance that aggressively pushed vaccination for pregnant women. He referenced a 2021 New England Journal of Medicine study reporting 104 miscarriages among 827 vaccinated pregnancies, noting that most miscarriages occurred in the 127 women who received the vaccine in the first or second trimester. Johnson calculated an alarming 82% miscarriage rate for that subgroup—a figure that, while disputed by some medical experts, raises urgent questions about transparency and accountability.
The senator stated that the investigation is ongoing and hinted that more revelations may be forthcoming, potentially exposing further discrepancies between what health officials said in private and what they told the American people. Johnson underscored the critical need for honest and transparent information so Americans can make informed decisions about their health. The law firm representing Dr. Fauci has not responded to requests for comment.
